Collection: Stirrup Leathers

Traditional buckle styles and low-bulk Webbers make these stirrup leathers suitable for different saddles and rider preferences. Bates Webbers sit alongside Bates Luxe straps, Wintec synthetic straps and Amerigo brown leather options in conventional designs. Bates, Wintec and Amerigo provide several lengths, materials and colours for adults and younger riders. Compare single-layer and buckle construction, then select the length that gives an appropriate adjustment range for the rider and saddle. Check both straps regularly for uneven stretching, cracked leather, worn holes or damaged fittings, and follow the maker's care directions to keep the material and hardware in serviceable condition.

Choosing the Right Stirrup Leathers

Quality stirrup leathers should provide strength, consistency and comfort while maintaining an even length over time. The right choice depends on your riding discipline, saddle and how often you ride.

Stirrup Leather Length

Stirrup leathers are available in a range of lengths to suit children through to tall adult riders. The correct length depends on your height, leg length, riding discipline and the type of saddle you're using.

If you're replacing an existing pair, measuring your current stirrup leathers is usually the easiest way to determine the correct size. If you're unsure, our experienced team can help you choose the right length.

Leather Stirrup Leathers

Traditional leather stirrup leathers remain the most popular choice for everyday riding and competition. Quality leather moulds naturally with use and, when properly cared for, provides many years of reliable service.

Stretch-Resistant Stirrup Leathers

Stretch-resistant stirrup leathers feature a reinforced synthetic or nylon core enclosed within quality leather. They are designed to minimise stretching over time, helping riders maintain a consistent stirrup length. They are particularly popular with dressage riders, showjumpers and riders seeking greater precision and balance.

Synthetic Stirrup Leathers

Synthetic stirrup leathers are lightweight, weather resistant and easy to maintain. They're an excellent option for Pony Club, trail riding and everyday use where low maintenance is a priority.

Choosing the Right Width

Stirrup leathers are available in different widths to suit various saddles and stirrup irons. Selecting the correct width ensures the leather sits comfortably within the stirrup eye and saddle billet without unnecessary movement or bulk.

If you're unsure which width is suitable for your saddle, our experienced team will be happy to help.

Ascot Expert Tip

The near-side (left) stirrup leather often stretches more than the off-side because it's the side most riders mount from. Rotating your stirrup leathers from left to right every month or so helps them wear more evenly and can significantly extend their life. If one leather has already stretched noticeably, replacing the pair is usually the safest and most comfortable option.

How do I choose the correct length stirrup leathers?

The correct length depends on your height, leg length, riding discipline and the type of saddle you're using.

As a general guide, many adult riders use 145 cm (approximately 57") stirrup leathers for jumping and all purpose saddles, while 160 cm (approximately 63") stirrup leathers are commonly preferred for dressage saddles with their longer leg position.

If you're replacing an existing pair, measuring your current stirrup leathers is usually the easiest starting point. If you're unsure, our experienced team can help you choose the right length before you buy.

Why are my stirrup leathers different lengths?

Over time, leather stirrup leathers can stretch unevenly, particularly on the near side where most riders mount. Stretch-resistant leathers minimise this, while rotating your leathers regularly helps promote even wear.

What are stretch-resistant stirrup leathers?

Stretch-resistant stirrup leathers feature a reinforced synthetic or nylon core enclosed within quality leather. They're designed to minimise stretching over time, making them a popular choice for dressage, jumping, eventing and riders who want to maintain a consistent stirrup length.

Can I punch extra holes in my stirrup leathers?

Yes. Additional holes can be added using a quality leather punch if required. If your leathers need significant adjustment or show signs of excessive wear, stretching or cracking, it may be time to replace them.

How do I care for leather stirrup leathers?

Regularly wipe away sweat and dirt, clean with a quality leather cleaner and apply leather conditioner as recommended. When inspecting your leathers, pay particular attention to the buckle holes and stitching, as these are the areas that experience the greatest stress and often show the first signs of wear.

Do you sell racing stirrup leathers?

Yes. We stock lightweight racing stirrup leathers suitable for thoroughbred racing and trackwork, along with a wide range of stirrup leathers for dressage, jumping, Pony Club and everyday riding.
